éS Two Nine 8 – A Skateboarding Legend, Reborn

Originally dropping in 1998, the éS Two Nine 8 was an iconic favorite that left a lasting mark on skate culture. Now, it’s back and better than ever – refreshed with modern updates while staying true to the original’s design that made it a skateboarding staple. Get ready to step into a piece of history with a shoe that combines retro style, innovative tech, and legendary durability.

Key Features:
• Classic Chunky Cupsole Design – The Two Nine 8 stays true to its chunky cupsole silhouette, delivering a durable, responsive feel underfoot. It’s built to withstand hardcore skate sessions, just like the original.
• Reinforced Toe Cap – A triple-stitched and reinforced toe cap takes the brunt of impact from flip tricks, ensuring long-lasting durability through hours of skating.
• Rubberized Ollie Area – The rubberized ollie area extends from the toe, offering extra protection against wear, so your shoe lasts longer even during intense sessions.
• Reflective Mesh Underlays – Stylish and functional, the reflective mesh underlays not only give the Two Nine 8 its signature look but also add breathability for comfort during long sessions.
• Lycra Ankle Pillow – Hidden in the collar, the Lycra “ankle pillow” ensures a snug fit and prevents heel lift, making for a secure ride and added comfort.
• Full-Length EVA Foam Midsole – The EVA foam midsole cushions impacts from big drops and gaps, ensuring your feet stay comfortable all day long.
• 400 NBS Rubber Cupsole Outsole – The 400 NBS rubber cupsole provides the perfect blend of grip and durability, ensuring the Two Nine 8 can handle even the most technical skate tricks.
• Lace Protection System – Keep your laces intact with the hidden internal loops, or lace traditionally for that classic look. The Lycra tongue straps help keep the tongue centered and in place throughout your session.

Modern Comfort, Retro Soul:

The Two Nine 8 brings together old-school skate style with modern tech. Its sleek yet durable construction keeps it lightweight without sacrificing protection or comfort. Whether you’re hitting the streets or sessioning the park, this shoe delivers the perfect mix of performance and style.

Why It’s Special:

The éS Two Nine 8 isn’t just a reissue; it’s a timeless skate shoe with modern refinements. Whether you’re reliving your 90s skate memories or experiencing this classic for the first time, the Two Nine 8 provides everything you need: superior comfort, performance, and an undeniable throwback aesthetic. Lace up and take your skating to the next level with a shoe that’s been designed to handle everything from technical flip tricks to big drops.

Ridiculously Good

Best shoes I’ve ever had period. And to skate in? Epic. I have Haglunds deformity and these support my really weird needs, which is tons of support, fitted shoes with arch support which most skate shoes don’t have. 10/10 shoes

ESSHOES IS VERY NICE

I've tried several different types of skateboarding shoes, but ES skateboarding shoes are the best. They're especially comfortable. They're also beautifully designed, and come in a variety of colors, so you can choose the one that best suits your taste. However, Korean importers often don't carry a lot of them, making them difficult to purchase domestically. That's why I buy them directly from the ESkateboarding website.

Merely a shadow of the OG K2

To make it short: I don’t get the design decision to the change the outsole. The outsole of the original shoe was such a characteristic design feature. To change that means changing the complete shoe.
I was stoked when I found out they would retro the K2s because I couldn't get them back in the day.
When I saw the first pictures of the retro I was just disappointed. I’m still not decided if I should buy a pair. It just doesn’t make sense to change the shoe in such a drastic manner and then market it as connected the OG.

Hi Sasgot,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback on our Two Nine 8 product. We understand how important the design of the outsole is to you and we apologize for any disappointment caused by the change. We value your opinion and we will take it into consideration for any future updates. We hope you will give the shoe a try and see how it performs. If you have any further concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out to us. Thank you for your support!

Modelos Históricos es

Ustedes son una marca icónica del skate, escribo desde chile y me declaro un fanático de muchos de sus modelos de hecho me he dedicado a comprar y buscar modelos históricos como las mas que mencionadas K3, he tratado por todos los medios volver a restaurar este modelo para volver a utilizarlos lo cual a sido imposible, incluso buscando la alternativa de imprimir el entre suela en 3D para reemplazar lo que por el tiempo ya entro en proceso de hidrolisis, como no existe una manera de la que la marca ayude a aquellos que atesoramos algunos modelos icónicos, como tal vez vender solamente las suelas para poder reemplazar las antiguas y volver a recuperar los modelos históricos de la marca. Tal vez solo a pedido con un pago anticipado y con despachos a distintos países.
